Amidst societal upheavals, interest in law schools has dramatically increased, evidenced by a 23.7% rise in national applicants. Law schools in states like Pennsylvania are experiencing up to 50% increases in applications. This surge reflects a renewed public interest in legal careers at a time of perceived threats to the rule of law. Dean Daniel Filler of Drexel's Kline School noted similarities to past political climates influencing application trends, underscoring the intersection of law and current events in driving this phenomenon.
"In a year that's been full of surprises, what may be the biggest surprise of all is the sudden interest people now have in going to law school."
"This year, law school applicants are not just up, they're way up, with a 23.7 percent increase nationally, translating to roughly 9,000 more applicants."
